Apple Fries Recipes

APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the milk, melted butter and vanilla. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined (do not over-mix). Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with sausage and bacon!

APPLE FRIES

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Cut the apples into 1/2-inch-wide sticks to look like fries.
• Working in two batches, toss the apples in the cornstarch until well coated, shaking off the excess. Fry in the hot oil until softened but still pale, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer; let cool. Let the oil return to 300 degrees F between batches.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl; set aside. Beat the heavy cream, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Working in about three batches, re-fry the apples until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain briefly, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Serve warm with the whipped cream for dipping.

SOUTHERN FRIED APPLES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; stir sugar and cinnamon into the hot butter. Add apples and cook until apples begin to break down, 5 to 8 minutes.

APPLE FRIES

Steps:

• Coat the apple slices with cornstarch. Place coated apples in strainer and shake off excess cornstarch, set aside. For dipping sauce, combine cream cheese, marshmallow cream and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Refrigerate until needed. In a separate bowl combine sugar and cinammon mix together. Place oil in a deep fryer and heat to 375 degrees (if you do not have a deep fryer, place enough oil in a heavy skillet to reach a depth of 1 inch. Heat oil to 375 and proceed the same way). Drop apples in oil, a few at a time. Do not crowd your pan. Fry apples for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain apple slices on a paper towel and sprinkle with cinammon sugar. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired.
